TGIF Round-Up and Trouble in Pred Land?

The Predators kept pace in the Western Conference race with their win over Carolina on Thursday night at the Sommet Center. The Preds are officially in sixth place but have the same number of points at 55 as Calgary (3rd place) and Vancouver (5th place) . Three points separate third place down to eighth so any slip up, or even a night off, can move a team down very quickly.

With Detroit's win over the Kings last night, they pulled within three points of a playoff position. I can't imagine that anyone expects the Wings not to be back in the middle of the tight Western Conference playoff race once their injuries heal and they return to a full lineup.

So when that happens which current team will fall out of the top eight? Sorry Av fan friends, with all things being equal, I'm betting on you to be the first to go. Unfortunately, the realistic part is that injuries and movement at the trade deadline will probably be the deciding factors.

Trouble in Pred Land?

One of the oddest responses I've seen Barry Trotz give to a question was in an exchange between him and John Glennon at the end of the post game presser regarding Jason Arnott leaving the bench before the game was over. Glennon touches on it here at Inside Predators and here is the link to our video from last night if you want to see it first hand (look at the 4:00 mark).

Puck Daddy has a fun interview with Ryan Suter. It's neat to hear that he has played on one team or another with everyone on the US Olympic team.

Forechecker has another clip from the Thom Abraham show, this time with Brandon Gee who has written several of the Predator Business stories. He is a little less dramatic in the audio than recent newspaper articles.

Admiral's short Shifts has the story of the Ads win over the Rampage and also about Eric Kent lighting the lap as the goal judge for the game.
